Wartburg!



It was a beautiful day and we hiked up here from Eisenach after lunch. The castle is known for many things, which we found out on our tour (although the woman spoke very fast and we caught only the smallest bit of what she said) and with which I will not bore you. However, you should know that we were interested in it because Luther spent about a year (1521-1522) here under "house arrest". During this time he translated the New Testament into the German language.
